[Q] Stuck at HTC logo (yes, another one...) - HTC One X

My HOX is stuck on the HTC logo.
I tried to install the ICJ rom based on Android 4.2.1 and followed the instructions. But failed...
I can still get into the recovery and reflash. My own backup didn't change anything so I also tried to download a nandroid from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
matching the information from this command.
$ ./fastboot.exe getvar version-main
version-main: 3.14.401.31
I have used 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' with the boot.img from whatever ROM/nandroid I tried to install. Both before and/or after the rom is flashed.
I have also tried to flash other roms like: CM10, CM10.1 and VipertX_2.6.0. I have tried with both CWM and TWRP.
The only thing I can think of that I have not tried is RUU, but those are hard to come by...
Anyone have any idea how to proceed with this? Or am I screwed?

Have you full wiped before flashing ROM?
Sent from my One X

Yes.
In CWM I did factory reset, wipe dalvik and format everything except sdcard. Everything I could find. Battery stats too.
Just in case I also copied everything from the sdcard and reformated that one too.

Just try another rom.
But do not forget to flash also the corresponded boot. Img.

Can you recommend a rom with a higher success rate in these situations?
I've already tried three roms, my own nandroid and a stock nandroid.

do you tried stock by revolution?

Not yet. Downloading now...
BTW, which one do I install? odexed or de-odexed?

your nandroid restore failed ? did you flash the boot.img from the nandroid ? i recommend flashing the boot.img from original rom.zip
EDIT: Your phone might be affected by the read-only partition problem, caused by one of Trip's kernel/rom.

Yes, my nandroid failed. No error message, just stuck at boot logo when I reboot.
And yes, I always extract the boot.img from the rom/nandroid I want to install and use fastboot to flash it.
I've seen different suggestions on when to use fastboot. Some say before and some say after the installation of the rom. I've tried both variants with no luck...
I never downloaded Trips ROM. The download links were already removed when I started to look for roms.
How do I check if I have that problem? Shouldn't I have seen some read only error message in that case?

what i meant you shouldn't use boot.img from nandroid backups(they dont work for some reason), only use from rom.zip
Edit: they dont work for me (stock sense roms)

Good to know. Thanks!
I just assumed I needed to do it the same way for the nandroids. Strangely enough i did'n use fastboot the first time I tried to restore from nandroid. That time it also failed....
WOW!! Something happened!
Thanks Sensitivity! You made my day! After flashing the stock rom you referred to my HOX came to life again!
Thanks everyone for your help!!:laugh::laugh:

Any custom Rom and unable to flash a different kernel. Help please...

I am currently running Leedroid and I sometimes switch to Paranoid Android just to see how things are developing there. Great rom but I cant do without sense camera and like the decent weather app with all its animations.
Back to reason, sorry, I cant change my kernel on neither rom. Just gets stuck on boot animation/loop. Knew problem because I used to be able to change kernels but now just cant. Any idea's to why. Much appreciated - I feel handicapped...
Well, did you repack the kernels AND flash modules?

Cheers for quick response. :good:Yes, as I said I used to be able to try different kernels but just stopped last dozen attempts. Have tried repacking boot image several times, via online repacker but had no joy. Am i doing something wrong.

You put the original boot.img in the source img, correct?
Then repacked, flashed the kernel, erased cache and then rebooted to recovery to flash modules?

Correct. I have tried erasing cache via command line and I have tried erasing cache via cwm as well. Still no joy
Actually because of desperation I have tried everything in different orders as well. Example- flashing boot image before after flashing kernel. Still doesnt boot and eventually after long wait just loops. This problem is with both roms.
Stock kernel works right?

Maybe a dumb answer, but i had the same problem. Do you flash in the right order? Do you flash your kernel before or after your rom flash? And you're flashing using fastboot?

No not dumb, i really appreciate attempt in help. As to right order, have tried right order, fastboot flash boot boot.img with repack and original image to kernel but nothing is working. Just will not allow change kernel. Have tried re-flashing boot image after flash kernel as well. Have tried erasing cache partition with wiping dalvik cache together but no go. Have tried erasing nothing but still boot loop. Any ideas:crying:

So this is your order:
- Backup
- full wipe
- flash rom
- flash kernel
- flash modules
- restart
?
doesn't matter what order you flash the boot.img, as long as you flash the modules after you flash the ROM.
btw, try another ROM.

Ok here's what I did, full wipe, Flashed knew copy of Leedroid ( i know you said try another rom but hadnt thought it to be necessary because I was having same problem with Leedroid and Paranoid Android jellybean), kinda custom the rom a little with mods and tweaks. Got a bit ahead of myself because I then fastboot faux kernel boot image and flashed the modules. Gutted BOOt-LooPED...:crying:
Have gone back to my backup Leedroid. At least I know its not the full wipe. Any more ideas welcome.
Forgot to mention I did not repack the boot image until after boot loop. Still did not work.

Well, the best way to do it as far as i know is:
-boot.img flash (the one included in rom)
-wipe
-flash rom
-reboot
-wait for 10 minutes
-rebooten (full reboot again)
-reboot to fastboot
-boot.img flashen (custom kernel)
-modules flashen (custom kernel)
That 's how things work by me, you can try this?

Yeah understand, I used to be able to just fastboot flash kernel boot image, flash kernel modules via cwm and bobs ya uncle. Done. But no more. Guess I'll have to wait until i jump ship and update firmware to 1.28 for JB roms and re-format or something. Cheers anyways..

[Q] Flashing a rom...

Extract Rom and grab the boot.img
Make a Full Wipe (Factory Reset,System,Cache,and Davlik Cache)
Install ROM
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
REBOOT
Enjoy!!!
With these instructions *i've never flashed a rom before* I should download the rom, extract the boot.img where I have the fastboot.exe on my computer, do full wipe, put the zip file on my sd card and install in recovery, reboot and go into fastboot mode and flash the image, and then reboot again right? Or am I missing something? Sorry, as I said i've never done this before.
Yeah that's right but flash the kernel (boot.img) first ...because you may get stuck in a bootloop ...so flash kernel first
Ya too bad each step has very specific things you need to do and it takes quite a bit of time sifting through these forums to understand just wtf is going on.
This might help flashing if you've rooted already:

Thanks for your help. I actually went ahead and tried mine first, to see because i'm impatient and it worked totally. Thanks everyone!!!
Ok, I'm having issues with this installing ROMs/kernels.
I entered fastboot
I flashed the boot.img for the kernel I want
I toggled to hboot
I went into recovery (twrp 2.2.0)
I did wipe -> Factory Reset, Cache, Dalvik Cache, System
I installed the zip for ROM I want to use [found here]
I flashed the zip for the kernel I want to use (to install the libs) [found here]
wiped dalvik/cache again
reboot system
Now my phone just bootloops. Not sure what I did wrong.
I should mention I did get it to boot once back when I first installed the ROM because I did a normal reboot not a reboot into fastboot (was doing the install the ROM then the boot.img approach at the time) and hadn't installed any boot.img (still had the stock) but ever since I overwrote it all i get is bootloops.
Also, I even tried the same steps using the boot.img included with the ROM as opposed to the other one.
To make things worse, backups are almost useless because with the phone being S-ON even if the boot.img is being backed up, it not getting restored. A point made extremely obvious by the fact that it still bootloops after restoring my backup.
I am currently running the RUU but am hesitant to try and install any ROMs without some idea of what I did wrong.
Any help is appreciated.
-----EDIT------
Ok, I think the problem was the recovery I used. I installed the CDMA TWRP from the OneV tool, and one linked in the cdma development thread and a couple CWM version found there as well. But what seemed to work was getting TWRP straight from the source. After running the RUU I installed version 2.3.1.0 and repeated the steps using the boot.img included in the ROM and it worked. If I'm feeling adventurous later I'll try my luck with the other kernel lol.

I need help please

Hello all...My One X is in a mess. I tried to restore my nandroid back up but my phone keeps bootlooping. Ive wiped dalvik, fixed permissions, etc... and i even fastboot erase cache in cmd prompt. Still nothing. Im charging it now in recovery, but i have no other ROM in the memory to try and flash. I downloaded an RUU for O2 but, i cant even use that because i didnt update my phone prior to flashing ROMS, so the RUU is wrong and i cannot find the older version. Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.

How do i get another ROM on my phone if my phone wont boot up? I'm stuck. Keeps bootlooping. I cannot find any boot.img for my nandroid backup either.
Hold power + volm down for 10-15 seconds until you get to bootloader screen man... if it doesn't work then you're doing it wrong.

I know how to get into the bootloader. I dont have any other ROM on my phone to flash. I have my back up which i tried to restore but i'm stuck in a bootloop. I dont have the boot.img in my phone for the nandroid.
Just a taught....
I don't know if you changed or upgraded the rom after you did the nandroid backup but if you have a bootloop it means boot.img doesn't match the rom.zip
You also need to flash boot.img with the ADB tools that matches your nandroid backup.
If you are not sure anymore, wisest and easiest thing to do is flash a new custom rom.
I would recommend you >> ARHD rom as they have a Superwipe script as well to clear all fat but leave storage in tact.
Your storage you can reach with Clockworkmod/mounts and storage/Mount USB Storage to copy the rom.zip and superwipe.zip to it.
Keep in mind that you will lose all your personal data like contacts and sms etc, all in internal memory.

[Q] Another noob with a bricked HOX

At the moment it's on a bootloop with the HTC screen, although I've managed (just now) to flash CM10 which is now stuck on a loop of the CM10 Android splash screen
I'm feeling confident that this can be sorted as I can access phone through fastboot/adb and can mount the SD so all isn't lost... I'm on UK O2 HOX
Just looking for a little direction, I used to be fairly confident around the inside of my old HTC desire, but lost interest... Things are rather different with the HOX and I suspect I've maybe screwed up with some misguided bravado...
Mr Hofs has provided some excellent learning material on his responses to issues similar to mine but to no avail...
I've tried a lot of things, bootloader is unlocked, flashed boot.img and recovery.img but when I flashed x.xx.206.x - O2 UK (United Kingdom) firmware.zip with hboot 1.36 it said it failed (with no information as to why)
Just looking for pointers on where to go next!
Starting to become concerned I've made a proper mess...

Additional to this - I've been through 10-12 pages of various fixes (searched bootloop within HOX forum) that's why the above is a little vague... They've all merged into one...
1: what hboot do you have now ?
2: what recovery are you on ?
and put the phone in the recovery in the mean time. it charges the battery there
Are you flashing cm10 or cm10.1 'cause cm10 does not support hboot 1.36.
Recovery is TWRP v2.4.1
HBoot is 1.36
and I'd read that somewhere about not supporting 1.36 and I've just checked it's 10.1 I was trying to flash
Everything sounds good to me.
Try again with my instructions:
1. Flash boot
2. Full wipe
3. Flash rom
4. Flash gapps
It should boot.
Yep....and otherwise the way around ! because i helped somebody on team-V ...it didnt work the way TT described. but actually did work the other way around
in recovery a full wipe....
install the rom and gapps
adb reboot bootloader
and flash the boot.img followed by
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

I've expanded on the above steps to ensure I'm completing them correctly
1. Extracted the boot.img from the firmware zip contained within the CM10.1 zip, then ran fastboot flash boot boot.img from cmd line - this completed and reported "OKAY"
2. Full wipe done using TWRP - system wipe - for good measure wiped everything else too (wasn't sure if system was a catch all for the others or not)
3. Rom Flashed using TWRP install cmd (I've assumed this is the correct way to do it...)
4. Flashed Gapps similarly
It's now past the HTC "quietly brilliant" splash (very very quiet just now...) and is stuck on the CyanogenMod splash just circling round and round...
Going to try the other method see if I have anymore luck!
OK... So haven't had any luck with either method...
When flashing the boot.img it's behaving differently to how it did before - it now triggers the phone to reboot whereas it never did before... Is that normal?
Is there any more information I can give you guys that might narrow down the issue?
Thanks in advance!
i would try a stanrd sense based rom ..... just to check its all fine, i have seen more people that didnt get it booted, why ? no clue....
did a proper wipe....factory reset,wipe caches, dalvik cache, data, system ?
then it should work !
Just downloading the stock rom just now, going to try from there... At this point in time I'll be happy to just have a working phone!
Success!
I tried going back to the stock rom but something mad happened with the recovery (i.e. it didn't work anymore) and was replaced with a graphic of a flat HOX with a sync symbol and then the sync symbol was replaced by a red cross...
So had a minor panic, realised that something wasn't right with TWRP, so flashed on CWM, then flashed the boot.img from the stock zip, and flashed the rom perfectly.
I'm tempting fate but I started this process wanting a new rom and I will finish it, but I'm glad my phone isn't bricked!
Thanks to you both for your input, your faith certainly encouraged me to not give in!
Keep up the awesome work!
Well you can always try again to install CM10.1.....again but now with cwm.
I went with viper - which has flashed successfully, but everytime I unlock the screen it comes up with a white HTC screen... haha time to start trawling the viper forum... or go for CM again!
Strange.....tho i have the idea you missed something in the wiping process ?
Funnily enough for a "low stress" option I wiped everything (CWM > advanced > wipe em all) then reflashed the boot.img from CM10.1, then flashed the rom and it's loading into CM10 but repeatedly flashes "unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped"
There is something funny going on if no custom roms are working no?
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Advanced - wipe dalvik cache
Mounts & storage - format cache,data,system
That should do it.....
ohhhhh the mounts and storage one is new to me... I'll try that now with a custom...
Meh didn't work... I'm going to reflash the stock and go to bed I think!

[Q] Need some direction with Restoring

Hi All,
Yesterday I took my Tegra 3 (International) One X back to Stock ICS using RUU. Everything went smoothly after I relocked my bootloader and ran the RUU.
Then I proceeded to get all the OTA updates until I had JellyBean (3.14.707.24) with no further updates pending. Yay for Jellybean! The next thing I did was install CWM recovery and perform a nandroid backup (which didn't seem to restore later, although was created correctly).
At this point, I thought I would try using a CM10 rom to remove sense and I went ahead and installed it, flashing over the boot.img as one normally would, but it wouldn't boot. I later discovered that I needed a modded-boot.img (for new hboot 1.36), but not before I tried running the 3.14.707.24 RUU.
This RUU got stuck at sending.... and did not finish. I didn't leave it more than 20 minutes and tried twice. I also tried my ICS RUU to no avail.
Right now I have no Rom installed (from what I can tell), but I have full fastboot access and would like to know how I should proceed:
1) should I install the CM10 rom again with proper modded-boot.img (for hboot 1.36) and see if it boots? That would at least get me functional.
2) should I try another copy of the RUU for 3.14.707.24 JB? (i found one)
3) should I try a rom like Android Revolution HD which is OK to work with my new HBoot 1.36?
I don't want to do too much too fast since I know what I've done, and used to be really into this. The phone has been sitting a while since I upgraded my device and I'd like to get it working for travelling purposes. I'd be happy with a Stock Rom at this point...
Thanks for any willingness to help me

Ofcourse if you want CM flash the boot.img that is made for CM..And then flash .zip file..And ofcourse after flashing use
"fastboot erase cache"
Sometimes if you dont clear cache your phone won't boot..
Sent from my Endeavor
As you already said the old boot.img wont work with the new hboot. Just install cm10.1 as usually. Or any other JB Rom that is out there for the One X.

Thanks for your answer!! Now I'm curious if I want to use some other ROM, but without any system, how do I get the .zip file for the rom onto my SD card for flashing.
Should I use CWM recovery and enable usb storage, or is there another way?
Thanks again,
Adam
Correct, use the recovery
Yes just mount usb storage in CWM.

I'll try this later when I have the time. Thanks to everyone who responded. I was nervous I was on the bad road. Seems I'm in healthy shape, just lacking a rom.
Two more questions:
1) Can I still revert to stock? If so, how since RUU seems to get stuck at sending and not actually restore?
2) Any idea why when I tried to restore my stock nandroid backup just after installing CWM (which backed up successfully) it would restore but not boot (hung on One splash screen)? Should I have to wait a seriously long time for it to boot (I never used to have to?)
Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much. I'll see what happens and get back to the thread.
ALL GOOD!!
Thanks Everyone again. I'm Up and Running!
I think I was more freaked out by the RUU not working than just thinking that my phone is fine. Turned out CWM Recovery was still onboard so I just flashed a new rom using USB mounted storage. :good::good::good::cyclops:

1. You just need to find a RUU that will work..
2. Did you flash boot.img from sdcard/CWM/backup/ backup name folder?
Sent from my Endeavor
Hmmm....

Hey, Thanks for responding!
1. I figured. Thanks for validating. :good:
2. I did not use the boot.img from the nandroid backup. I've never sent a separate boot.img when restoring from Nandroid. Is that something I need to do going forward/have been lucky not having to do until now? Perhaps the ICS builds of roms had a more similar boot.img?

Yes sir, always flash the corresponding boot.img file :thumbup:
Appreciate the help

Thanks! I'm just confused because I've literally NEVER had to do this and have flashed countless roms when I was on ICS builds.
Great tip :highfive::good::highfive:
